I was loosing time
The days were becoming not only shorter
But dimmer, darker, duller...
I realized that I've given every single shirt off my back for people
And I'm not saying I regret doing it,
I just need to take a breather
Make some smarter decisions.
Maybe start listening and learn something in class..

Give me one more shirt
Even if it's only a freaking thread
And I'll prove everything I've got
That I won't donate it to someone
I'll treasure it until the angels call for me

Call me Echo
Cause even though my parents abandoned me
I want to live on where I came from
Go by my rightful calling
Show to the world that I've got things left to keep

For myself,
The world I'm glued in is tearing me to shreds
Now it's 12:00am
My eyes are dried up from all the crying I've done
Nohing left to dig out from the depths

My soul is shallow now...
You can finally see to the bottom
And all my blockades burst into pieces
Flung a million miles from here
Never to be glued back together

I can change the outcome
Moving from here on out
To be a stronger individual
Who listens to see if they're still breathing

The heavy showers of rain
Bare down on my frame
Like that night in a ratty old blanket in the street
But I promise you I'll keep that thread you gave to me
And it'll be embedded into my skin
For no one to use but me
If however..
You give me one more try at this little thing called survival
